Weaving together websites that work wonders
“Get it online.” That’s so often the advice whether you seek goods, service, inspiration or information. Which is why at Green Shoots this we’ve been busier than ever with website design, whether starting from scratch or developing or reinvigorating websites.
You Are Not Alone
One of the most respected sources of support for rural mental health is […]

Communication skills training during COVID-19: same, but different
Last year, and into 2021, of course the face-to-face communication skills training we offer has taken a hit. But stop training altogether? No way! Where there is a will there is a way. We re-worked our sessions to offer them to groups large and small, across the UK and much further afield. -
Let’s do it again – communications skills training 2021
It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The legacy from two great East Anglian farmers, John Forrest and Felix Cobbold will again be inspiring and equipping this generation of agri-professionals to show and share their professional messages to good effect. The next course – January 2021 – is open for applicants. -

Time may lapse but we catch it
Interest in using film to share a story, illustrate a technique, inspire a behaviour change has never been greater. Using time lapse footage is a great way to condense a lot of activity into a short time frame. Our time lapse cameras are, right now, on barns, in factories and up trees capturing the scenes […]

Spring into communicating better
How many times have you heard it’s important that farmers and researchers communicate better? I haven’t just heard that, I’ve watched it. I’ve felt it – with sadness and frustration – at each and every opportunity missed to show and share. That’s what inspires and drives me to share practical tips in communications skills training […]

Under ground, over ground filming are we
Months of work of planning, filming and post production have
culminated in the release of our latest film commission. It is the incredible
story of the UK production of a natural fertiliser used by farmers in the UK
and in many other parts of the world. It’s a film that took us to great depths,
lengths and heights to […] -
Celebrating clear communications
When was the last time you were on the receiving end of a dull presentation or boring talk? Too many of us will have a recent event in mind. That’s why it was great to be in a room full of people who have had communication skills training. These are professionals who know how to […]

Communication skills in agriculture have never been more important. But don’t just take our word for it. We hear it from others all the time. It’s why we […]
